A Terrible Chance.

From tho Boston Pilot.
In the Century magazine for
Der is q little story entitled, "An
American Beauty" 1t Is by Mrs.
Edith Evelyn Bigelow, and is a blood.
curdling narrative OF the narrow es.
cape OF q British Lord from falling in
to the terrible disgrace OF m@alli'
ance. The hero is "Lord Bayswaeir"
the heroine, "Jessie Raynham," an
American beauty, whom the Prince Of
Wales has honored with his notice.
She captivates the Earl ofBayswater.
who is described as "having the used
up, weary air OF the well-bred man
OF fashion," a description which
his insipd remarks FULLY sustain. The
heroine is called mere doll, but, per.
haps, because she is an American doll,
her conversation is above the intel
lectual level OF her noble admirer. He
falls in love with her, very rapidly oil
course, and is on the point OF propos'
ing, when the aged family lawyer
comes on the scene and saves him from
destruction by proving that the faith
er OF the American beauty had been,
thirty-fve years previously, q groom
on the Bayswater estate. The young
lord has momentary spasm ofman'
hood which prompts him to say:
"she can not help it. why
should / not marry herr" Because"
said Mr.. Marsham gravely, "because
you owe il to unborn generations to
keep the blood of the Rivertons pure.
You would blush to haveyour fathers
groom the grandfather OF your chill
dren."
Bayswater once more turned away,
and for q few moments again all was
still. Then he faced Marsham with
look OF mingled pain and courage.
"By Jove, you're right" huskily.
Then, as though speaking to himself;
"That settles it."
So it did. The chivalrouS Bays
water stole off by night and fled to
Norway in his yacht. leaving the
American beauty to mourn; "for the
doll had heart" and mourned her
loss. Comment on this delicious piece
of literary snobbery would be vain
when one has not thep pen OF Thackeray
to do it Justice. For the story is
written in all seriousness, and the au-
thor apparently believes that the
"blood OF the Rivertons" would be
contaminated by admixture with that
OF an honest man. Such touching
faith in the "aristoxy" implies an ig.
norance OF their manners and morals
as profound as it israre in these days
of candid criticism.

INSIST Upon PROMPT PAY.-The greater
part, if not the entire number of retail gro
GERS, have some customers to whom they
give credit, while many do the bulk OF their
business upon the credit system; and to
them all we wish to give some suggestions,
not to call it advice. Make it rule to in
sist upon monthly settlement of accounts,
though there are many, and we wish their
number was greater, who do not ask for
credit beyond week. If after an account
has been running one month, the customer
becomes offended upon being asked TO set
tie, it would be better to let the customer
go than to continue his account. In these
days persons ps;ronize the grocer mainly
because they need the goods, and not as q
mere compliment. Have distinct under
standing with your customer as to how often
their accounts shall be settled, and then in
sist upon the payment at the proper time.
The customer, if honest and reasonable, will
respect the dealer, and will need no consider
able dunuing to settle his account. The re-
tsil dealer has to pay the jobber promptly
for his goods, and there is no reason why he
Should extend credit hey ond an agreed, or rea-
eorable time The customer WHO'S granted
Eoomuch lenience in the matter OF credit soon
comes to think that the grocer cannot get
along without mis- trade, while ne who pays
promptly is the best buyer, in the long run.

JENNIE BowMAN's MURDERER.-As stated

JENNIE BowMAN's MURDERER.-As stated
in the GAZETTE, Albert Turner, one OF the
colored murdersrs of Jennie Bowman in
Louisville, KY, was hanged yesterday
morning. He was strangled to death, the
body being cut down about twenty minutes
after the trap was sprung. Turner before
the trap had been sprung gazed at the
crowd about him unconcernedly and walked
to his death without any evidence of fear.
Turner held levee in the jail several days
prior to the hanging, charging curious visit
ors to the jail five cents for look OF fifteen
seconds, and calling to them to pass on and
come up in regular side.show style. he
collected considerable sum of money,
which will be used in burying him. On one
of these DAYS the doomed man was peerlng
through the bars across his window, and
catching sight of his sister in the crowd. he
said
"You look here. sister, want a big fune-
raj Friday, and yon want to see that there is
no disappointment about it,"
SEQ on, Albert" the woman answered ;
chow is l gwine to get you up big funeral
when hain't got no money ?"
Look a-here, woman, if you don't, Use
gwine to ha'nt you every night, and all that
knows me and don't tend the funeral"
Claw, honey, don't talk dat way" broke
in an old colored woman, who was evidently
very much excited. and who had been NOV
ing uneasily from side to side.
"Yas, woman, Ise gwine to come back on
this earth and ha'nt all you'se niggers what
don't tend my burying."
AS Turner delivered this sentence the old
woman threw up her hands and fell back
